  • MCQ

A particle of mass \(m\) is acted upon by a force \(F\) given by the empirical law \(F = \frac{R}{{{t^2}}}\,v(t)\). If this law is to be tested experimentally by observing the motion starting from rest, the best way is to plot

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(log\, v(t)\) against \(\frac{1}{t}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{array}{l}
From\,F = \frac{R}{{{t^2}}}v\left( t \right) \Rightarrow m\frac{{dv}}{{dt}} = \frac{R}{{{t^2}}}v\left( t \right)\\
Integrating\,both\,sides\,\int {\frac{{dv}}{v} = \int {\frac{{Rdt}}{{m{t^2}}}} } \\
In\,v =  - \frac{R}{{mt}}\\
\therefore \,In\,v\, \propto \frac{1}{t}
\end{array}\)
